Okay, so I grabbed this SBD magnetic pin for my home gym setup. First impression? That jumbo black knob looks slick and feels sturdy in hand.
The magnet is NO JOKE – snaps into place like it means business. No more fumbling with cotter pins or worrying about the selector key slipping out mid-workout. Major upgrade from my old setup.
BUT... (there's always a but) the magnetic collar on mine gave up after about a month of regular use. Not gonna lie, was pretty disappointed when it cracked in half during leg day. Maybe I got a lemon?
Customer service was fantastic though – seller replaced it no questions asked. The replacement's holding up better so far. Pro tip: measure your stack carefully before ordering!
Final verdict? Great concept, execution could be more consistent. Would I buy again? Maybe – but I'd keep my receipt handy just in case.
